Well, basically Tombstones don't lie and when they agree with the Census records you have to think. The chart shows two Nancys and Betty Hicks & I have been chasing a "Ghost" called Ada Vanhoy, who supposedly was the daughter of James H. Vanhoy and found nothing to support it. So basically the only thing that got me going was that Kathleen High in Milwaukee said there had to be another Nancy and I thought about the law at that period in time and a Sister would have no legal claim on the estate of her brother but a daughter would and going through census records 1820-1840 led me in the right direction. Along with the fact that Permelia Vanhoy married her husband in Morgan County.
Now, my wife says I might be wrong about Catherine being a twin. John M. Vanhoy was born on Jan 25, 1830. My wife, a nurse says it is possible that Catherine was probably born later in the same year but I disagree as then she would not have been born by the time the census was taken, so that is how I determined that she is a twin.
Okay, to the issue of Lavinia Vanhoy, she is not the daughter of Abraham Vanhoy and Verlinda Marshall, but they did have a daughter named Ellenor C. Vanhoy who married Harmon Miller on Aug 15, 1832
Lavinia Vanhoy, on the other hand is the daughter of William Vanhoy and Margaret "Sally" Jacks b. abt 1828-1830 and married Thomas C. Miller Feb. 29, 1844.
Both Family Group Sheets compiled by W.L. Hubka information obtained Stokes County, NC marriage records.
David, from information from the tombstones of William M. Fairs and his wife Nancy (Vanhoy) it has been determined that this Nancy is not the Nancy born 1785 instead this Nancy was born Jan. 19, 1808, She also married William M. Fair on Oct 23, 1827 in Stokes County on the very same day as the Marriage of Clayton W. Vanhoy born 1807 and son of James Hamilton Vanhoy.
James Hamilton Vanhoy died intestate on Aug 20, 1845 in Martin County, Ind. and the following summer of 1846 there was a gathering of family to sign or affix their mark to a probate agreement. By the laws of that period the only way Nancy (Vanhoy) Fair would have any legal claim on his estate would be the fact that she was the daughter of James Hamilton Vanhoy & his wife Frances.
So a lot of people are under the assumption that Nancy Vanhoy, sister of James H. Vanhoy and daughter of John Vanhoy and Jemima Marshall, born 1785 is the Nancy Vanhoy that married William M. Fair b. 1805 and the assumption is incorrect.
So now I have discovered the existence of not two Nancy Vanhoy 1 born 1785 the other b. 1817 but a third the oldest daughter of James H. Vanhoy b. Jan. 19, 1808 Stokes County, NC married Oct 23, 1827 at Love Methodist Church, NC. d. Dec. 30, 1850 Morgan County, Indiana buried Old Williams Cemetery, Morgan County, Ind.
Have a Happy Day.
